How To Invite In Unlimited Possibilities

September 15, 2019 Change Your Beliefs, Create Actor Abundance 1

Often we can be so focused on what we want, that we forget that we live in a world of infinite possibilities.

When we get an audition + feel right for the role, it’s easy to let our minds become attached to wanting the job.

But when we do that, we are actually cutting ourselves off from all other possibilities that are lining up for us.

And in doing so we start gripping + pushing, an energy that will never help you book anything.

I came across this amazing quote last week from the late, great Wayne Dyer + thought it was so fitting for actors.

“Have a mind that is open to everything + attached to nothing.”

What a wonderful space to live. What a peaceful way to operate. What a direct line to your own joy.

It’s not to say you let go of your desires, but you let go of trying to control how or when they will show up.

And it in the letting go, you find (more…)

What’s Really Getting In Your Way….(And How Let Go + Fly)

June 16, 2019 Change Your Beliefs, Create Actor Abundance 3

To invite in the new, we must let go of the old. (Even when it feels scary + we are uncertain of the outcome).

I’ve had to do this in a big way this year.

I’ve done a lot of inner work on letting go of my own lingering limiting beliefs + the outer work of taking actions that were way outside my comfort zone, in order to fly.

If you haven’t heard, I’m now on the ballot and in the running for an Emmy nomination.

Emmy nomination-round voting closes in one week. (Thank you for the outpouring of well-wishes + support. It is so deeply appreciated!)

If you are a Television Academy member, I hope you’ll consider me when voting for “Outstanding Guest Actress In A Comedy Series” for my work on Atypical.

This entire experience got me thinking about how we transform our lives and careers. When does that happen and how do we do it?

When a caterpillar becomes a beautiful butterfly, it goes through a radical transformation process, one that is inherently uncomfortable.

But the caterpillar does not fight the chrysalis, nor does it resist any discomfort that arises inside as it sheds its familiar home.

Instead, to invite in the radical transformation that happens within its own protective casing, it must surrender fully to the discomfort.

The only way the caterpillar can end up flying is to allow the discomfort, to move beyond its protective casing, to transform itself + then spread its glorious wings for the very first time.

Metaphorically, leaving the familiar + stepping into the unknown with its wings wide open is how the butterfly first takes flight.

Ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu declares: “When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.”

If we can use this process in nature as a guide for our own metamorphosis, then whenever any discomfort arises, we can (more…)

Can you believe we are 5 months in to 2019? How are things going for you? Are you staying on track with the goals or intentions you created in January?

I’m hoping this will help reignite your fire today.

I choose a word each year that serves as the intention behind my thoughts, beliefs + actions, since I know it is our daily habits that create our success.

My word has been expansion.

To expand what I think is possible.

To expand what I think I can do.

To expand what I think I deserve.

To expand how I can help others.

To expand how I can serve.

To expand how I can give.

I invite you to do the same…

So often we want to expand into something bigger or better in our lives + careers, but something gets in the way.

April 14, 2019 Create Actor Abundance 2

Did you know there are 1440 minutes in every day? How are you spending most of them?

What To Do When What You Want Isn’t Showing Up: 3 Questions To Ask Yourself

March 3, 2019 Become The Happiest Actor You Know, Create Actor Abundance, Create An Inspired Life 6

I know it’s fun to have what you want show up, easily + effortlessly, but what happens when it’s not coming to you as fast as you had hoped?

When you want something + you doubt it, you add resistance to your own perfect path.

Sometimes when you see another having what it is you want, your ego may convince you that your timing is off, and that it’s not coming to you.

But that is just a game the critical mind likes to play to stay in control.

If there’s something you want, that isn’t coming, the best thing to do is (more…)

3 Powerful Statements To Invite In Abundance

February 24, 2019 Create Actor Abundance 2

We all want the conditions to change to bring us happiness. If we could only book the job, find the mate, win the Oscar….then, we’d feel better.

At the root of all that is feeling like somehow we are not enough, or worthy or valuable without the external condition we want being met.

I get it. I’ve been there. Heck, I was there 2 weeks ago when 2 auditions in one day turned into….booking neither.

We put our hearts + souls into every audition, and when it doesn’t turn into a booking, it can chip away at who we think we are.

Now, I love that I get to play for a living, and I was proud of the work I did in both of those auditions, but it got me thinking about how much we define ourselves by whether we book the job or not + how dangerous that can be to our self-esteem.

So, my #MondayMotivation is for you to begin the week knowing this…

Whether you booked a job this month (or year) or not.
Even if you had 5 auditions with no callbacks.
Even if you have friends whose lives look perfect on the outside.
Even if you’re going through a rough time.
Even if you just got your heart broken.
Even if you don’t know how you’re going to pay your rent.
Even if you’re feeling sad.
Even if you’re feeling frustrated.
Even if your big dreams haven’t come true yet.
Even if you wonder how they ever will.

Please know, that your happiness, doesn’t lie in the next “booking.”

Sure, it’s fun to book the job, but don’t spend your days between now + then waiting to be happy, to feel like you’re enough, to feel worthy or to feel valuable.

Your happiness and all those feelings are a gift you can give yourself TODAY.

No matter where you are in your life or career (even if it’s not quite where you thought you would be by now), please breathe this in…

How Small Shifts Can Equal Big Results

February 18, 2019 Create Actor Abundance 1

Sometimes it’s the smallest shift that can produce the biggest results.

I see it every day with the hundreds of amazing actors I have the privilege of mentoring in my course + in my private coaching community and I always marvel at how easily + quickly the inner breakthroughs invite in the outer breakthroughs.

If you’ve been putting in a lot of effort this year + already feeling exhausted, I want to help remind you of who you really are + encourage you to pause today, let go of limitation + breathe in the feelings of abundance.

You are abundant at your core.
Everything about you is abundant.

From the cells in your body to the neural pathways in your brain, to the taste buds on your tongue, you are made up of pure abundance.

You are worthy of your biggest dreams + you have the ability to magnetize what you want towards you.

It all begins with your emotions. since what you feel, you attract + what you imagine, you become.

Anything you were taught growing up about money or success that isn’t in alignment with pure + total abundance, you can take a moment, to simply breathe, release + let go of it all now.

Do this quick breathing + expansion exercise with me now… (more…)
